Wendy Williams Has Faced Questions About Her Health
Wendy Williams' health has remained a major subject of discussion as she seeks greater independence.
Williams' health has also remained at the center of her ongoing legal situation.
According to TMZ, Williams underwent a mental capacity evaluation last year that reportedly resulted in another diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia.
Williams has publicly disputed aspects of the characterization of her condition and has continued advocating for the end of her guardianship.

Wendy Williams' Guardian Recently Settled a Legal Battle
Wendy Williams' guardian recently settled a separate legal battle surrounding the documentary 'Where Is Wendy Williams?'
The rare outing also follows a development in a separate legal dispute surrounding Williams.
In July, Williams' guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, reached a settlement with A&E Television Networks over the controversial documentary Where Is Wendy Williams? Court documents stated that the parties had resolved their issues and agreed to drop the lawsuit.
Morrissey originally sought to stop the documentary's release and pursue additional damages, while A&E disputed her claims.
For now, Williams remains under guardianship as she continues seeking to regain control over her affairs.
